this one little intense burst from acton to sudbury. we still have the snow out there by 7:00 this morning steadier stuff is beginning to shift off shore. that's within the next hour. notice by 9:00 this morning, a lot of the snow is gone. so things will improve. 2-4 inches on average for most of us. but there have been higher totals south of boston. locally some spots up to about five inches of snow. we have an arctic front crossing the area this morning so it's in the 20's now but even with the sun coming out, lunchtime through the afternoon, temperatures hold in the 20's but winds pick up out of the west 15-25, gusting higher. single digits wind chills. the cold is incoming but we've got snow out there now. and trouble you say south of boston right now. olessa: we are watching one accident on 24 south of town. a live look at the expressway first. by the gas tank we're seeing a lot more of that blacktop. crews have been working hard to get that snow off the road but it's still slippery. be careful. to the maps now. here's the accident cindy just mentioned.

future prognosis is worse and governor baker has openly predicted the tragic toll will spike further unless these chilling statistics spark a dramatic change in how we handle this epidemic. this week the house unanimously approved a bill that, among many recommendations, limits initial painkiller prescriptions to a week's supply and recommends cities and towns set up "prescription drug drop boxes" where medications can be safely discarded. the house bill differs significantly from the governor's recent stronger proposal, which limits initial prescriptions to three days, and lets doctors commit patients involuntarily to drug treatment facilities for up to 72 hours if they're considered in immediate danger. the senate passed its own version of a bill last fall, ostensibly focused on curbing addiction through education and prevention-- a start, but not enough. frankly, the strongest elements of all three proposals now need to be reconciled and melded into an aggressive plan of action. partisan politics rules the federal government, but

heart that this governor and legislature have proven they can-- despite legitimate differences-- find compromises and work together. there is genuine optimism demanded by a need for action that the governor can soon sign a comprehensive reform bill. that would be the best news of the new year, not only for those individuals whose dependency on opioids can quickly become an addiction, but also for the dramatically increasing number of families scarred by this deadly scourge. everything nature's promise is so wholesome... and it doesn't take the whole paycheck. stop & shop's exclusive nature's promise. eat well for less. my stop & shop. shop with ease at peapod.com use code: tv2016
